Windows 11, with its redesigned interface, enhanced animations, and advanced graphics stack (including DirectX 12 Ultimate and Auto HDR), places more stringent demands on display drivers than any previous version of Windows. The foundation of any Windows 11 display driver is the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) . Windows 11 introduced WDDM 3.0 (original release) and later WDDM 3.1 (with the 2022 Update).
